Re: Stock AC? or Vintage Air? That is the question!

The V/A system has been in my truck since 2006. It's been driven in 15* temps and 110* temps. I've had no issues with it. You don't lose the DS fresh air vent. You actually don't have to lose the PS one if you want to spend a little time modifying the arm a little. I think the boxes have gotten even smaller now. I've put over 30K on the truck with it. It's been up and down mountains, in rain, fog, etc. It works well and doesn't rob near as much HP or fuel economy from the motor as the stock compressor does.

Again, I'd leave a working system with a modern compressor alone.
